she's good at stuffing up....

Nicole Livingstone has been a big disappointment. I don't see her advocating for the game at all, all I see her doing is being a "yes" person for the big wigs in the AFL. They tell her to jump, she says how high.

You need to get into following this fabulous team, Old Dee!

Benny is ace, he's one of the most approachable of the men, and he's so engaging and inclusive. He's fantastic, lovely fellow. Hattie, too.

Not sure if anyone has seen this, but it's a fantastic analysis of the turnaround last week against Adelaide. Frankly I think it was the best game they've ever played. Just a brilliant comeback when it looked pretty dire at quarter time. And the girls were PUMPED after the game. Surely that performance places them clear favourites for the Premiership! https://www.womens.afl/news/114427/t-hanks-for-the-win-how-the-dees-turned-the-tables-on-the-crows

They've already said Marvel if it's in Melbourne. I think Brisbane would be hard pushed to get a home GF given the unavailability of Metricon and Gabba.

That wouldn't surprise me. I get the impression the AFL doesn't know what they're doing with AFLW.

Oh, wow, I'm salivating at the thought of Mackin and Macca on the wings next season!!!

Couldn't have said it better myself. Incels are annoying.

Wanna rock up to the girls' training session and tell them they're not a serious competition, that they're just tokens? Yeh, didn't think so.

Yep. Couldn't agree more. There's always one, isn't there?

Okay Kevin.

This is one of the reasons why I love watching this team play, it exemplifies the very point of the OP. These girls are great to watch, they're unified as a team, they love spending time with each other, their fans, they are loved and supported by each other and their supporters.

This article explains what the situation stood last year. I cannot see any evidence of them having an SGM to change that aspect of their ordinary membership definition, unless it was an agenda item in their AGM last December, for which I'm struggling to find the minutes of. If the situation has changed, then good on them, and I stand corrected. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/37-years-a-pies-member-but-barrie-cassidy-still-can-t-vote-20211111-p59838.html

It's massively crook, isn't it? I don't see how they can be termed members if they don't have voting rights. Only the social club members and coterie have voting rights. It's a strange situation. Brisbane Lions are also set up that way.

It's hardly democracy at Collingwood while only about 10,000 of their 100,000 members have voting rights. That club could implode and there's nothing the "members" can do about it.

Yeh, it was a great night, wasn't it? It was my fourth time going to Princes Park this season, I went to the Bulldogs/GWS game in Round 1, then the Casey GF, then Melbourne/Carlton game and then Friday night. Every single time was a fantastic atmosphere and heaps of fun. Even ending up ankle deep in mud outside the ground reminded me of the 80s!!

Yeh, see, that's what I thought, too. I was a bit flabergasted by the comment, to be honest.

Yeh, I was surprised by that. Were kids counted? Someone on the AFLW Facebook page complained that even though they bought a ticket to the Collingwood/Bulldogs game they were denied entry, the reason given is that the capacity of Victoria Park is 5000 with kids being admitted for free, they didn't need a ticket, and they took up the space of people who bought tickets.

So true. It's a struggle for cheer squads to get organised with such a short turnaround. We have to have the banner squad ready a good 40 minutes before ball up.

I actually think they've become a better side since then, too. Their performance since the Bulldogs game has been flawless. Whereas Adelaide have not been their strongest coming into the finals, although that can be attributed to the absence of Chelsea Randall.

She's brilliant, awesome girl. And yes, the sweetest girl off the field, like they all are

Put Blaithin Mackin on her, she'll sort her out :)

True, but our side has improved immensely since then, particularly with Gillard's constant growth as a key defender, and the addition of Purcell in the midfield. I also think a key person who did that work in the GF was Erin Phillips. Adelaide are still a very good side, but they're not the same side as last season. They've lost quite significantly to both teams above them on the ladder. That's telling
